Boys strike right note

THREE boys who raised money for a new music room at their primary school have been praised by Henley MP John Howell.

Jem McAllister and Sidni Brener, both 11, and 10-year-old James Martin set up a stall in Henley town centre selling home-made cakes and sweets, second-hand toys, books, games and three-dimensional models.

The boys raised £40 towards the new room at Valley Road School.

Mr Howell wrote to the boys after reading about their efforts in the Henley Standard.

He said: “I think the stall is a really good idea and shows excellent community spirit. Keep up the good work.”
